The team and work seems really interesting and professional. However, I heard the systems at UCSF are slow and bureaucratic, and my interview experience confirmed this. Expect the whole process, from start to finish, to take over two months.

The interview process was fast, effective, and direct. My hiring managers were deliberate in identifying the ideal candidate profile and dedicated time to secure the right person. I thought the time invested in evaluating candidates, including myself, was reasonable and not overly long.

It was an easy and standard process. I had two interview sessions, each lasting an hour, and they were both in person. The hiring manager kept me updated. HR did not notify me on the status of my application.
